Hello! My name is Sophie and I am a Child Development major at Northern Illinois University! To start off, I love kids! I have three nephews and they are so important to me. My Godson is 7 months old and I am so in love with him! My babysitting career began when I was a Freshman in high school and still continue to do so whenever I am needed. In the summer of 2015 I nannied four days a week with two alternating families. Both families had a new born and 2 year old. I am very experienced with newborns all the way to teenagers. I'm a very patient, trustworthy, reliable, responsible, and caring person. Furthermore, I follow and respect every rule and value that you have while creating a fun and enjoyable environment for your children. In addition, I am pretty flexible with dates and times, if you ever Read more need me on a short notice. I also have four references that I can give you! If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask! (I forgot to mention that i'm a BIG animal lover and definitely don't mind letting them out and such). Thank you! Sophie S.

Sophie has been sitting for our family for the last year and is an outstanding sitter. She's got a great relationship with both of my children, ages 10 and 13, and always figures out how to have fun with them—you can tell that is honestly invested in their wellbeing and she celebrates their milestones along with me and my husband. She's also excellent and getting down tasks that help this working mom keep things at home going smoothly, from dinner prep and meal making to folding laundry, walking the dog, and running errands. She's reliable, patient, smart, trustworthy, and an overall gem. We look forward to welcoming her back again next summer!

Sophie was wonderful with our four boys. She did regular after school care for our two oldest, would do occasional care with our two youngest, and would also do light housekeeping duties. She has great attention to detail (with respect to housekeeping), engages the children so well, has great chats and patience with them, and my boys all instantly adored her. She is motivated and pro-active, and a real pleasure to have around. If we weren't moving, we would hire her again and would have loved to have been able to keep her as a full time nanny. I highly recommend Sophie as a caregiver for your children.
